Chapter 47: Desert Wolf Eagle

  After listening to Zhou Yue's detailed explanation, Tang Kun and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, because if what Zhou Yue said was true, then there really wasn't anything to worry about. What they were most worried about was that Zhou Yue's strength had already reached an unattainable level.

  At this time, Tang Kun and the others' gaze also focused on the wooden shield on Zhou Yue's back. They were no strangers to this wooden shield. If the Evil Ghost Tooth was a fatal temptation for Zhou Yue, who had agility as his specialty, then this wooden shield was a fatal temptation for all those with strength as their specialty!

  That +2 strength and +1 agility attribute is nothing, but that +5 defense attribute is too important. If refined further, who knows what kind of special effects will appear? So when they saw Zhou Yue not equipping this wooden shield, Tang Kun, Zhao Dashan, Li Dan, and most of the strength-based experts' eyes almost turned red.

  Zhou Yue naturally had expected this situation, and logically speaking, he should have sold the wooden shield to Zhao Dashan, which would have greatly increased the pressure on Tang Kun's side.

  However, at this moment, Zhou Yue felt that he didn't need to be too entangled in this matter. Neither Tang Kun nor Zhao Dashan were people he could trust, so he needed to use this wooden shield to gain the greatest benefit.

  With a faint smile, Zhou Yue took down the standard wooden shield on his back and stood it in front of him. His gaze quickly swept across the crowd before he calmly said: "I'm unable to equip this standard wooden shield, so I plan to sell it. The price won't be too high; 300 copper plates plus five portions of fine iron sand. Whoever can afford this price, I'll sell it to them!"

  As soon as Zhou Yue said this, Zhao Dashi and Qin Lang, who were originally eager to try, hesitated. Three hundred copper plates are nothing, but five refined iron sands are different! They had all seen the effect of Zhou Yue's previous refining of the Evil Ghost Tooth, and the value of that steel ingot was no less than this wooden shield for them!

  Only Tang Kun smiled, he felt that Zhou Yue's price was simply equivalent to coming out for him. Indeed, the five fine iron sands were almost equal in value to this standard wooden shield, and the process of obtaining them was also very difficult. However, he was different, he could concentrate all his soldiers' strength to get those five fine iron sands easily. And if he could get this standard wooden shield, even facing 5th-level knife-shield infantry, he would have a chance to fight back!

  "This standard wooden shield I'll take, the price is no problem, but there's one thing, Zhou Yue, can those five fine iron sands be delivered tomorrow?" Tang Kun walked over and said.

  "Of course." Zhou Yue smiled and casually tossed the wooden shield to Tang Kun. He wasn't afraid that Tang Kun would renege on his promise, as this soldier, although disdainful of these scattered irregular troops, still had a solid military bearing.

  He took over the standard wooden shield, and Tang Kun immediately equipped it. His attributes changed again: his strength increased from 28 to 30 points, agility from 17 to 18 points, and defense became 6 points. If he added the temporary 3-point defense of the Evil Spirit's Roar, it would reach 9 points. This was enough for him to charge into a grain transport team like a whirlwind, without suffering any damage!

  By then, Tang Kun had already become the first being in the entire team who barely approached the quality of MT.

  After everyone's envy, they retreated in the direction of the chariot team a few miles away. Since today's sky has turned black, the Yellow Turban Army's grain transport team had already withdrawn, and it was meaningless to stay behind.

  Zhou Yue was holding Liang Xiaoxue, who was still weak all over. She had exhausted all her energy and couldn't walk on her own power at all. This scene was so similar to yesterday's.

  Zhou Yue didn't think much of it, but Liang Xiaoxue was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red. She wanted to struggle free, but she had no strength and could only bury her face in Zhou Yue's shoulder.

  Returning to the convoy, everyone checked and found that at least one armored personnel carrier was no longer operational. A fist-sized hole had been punched through from the front, killing two soldiers inside with a single blow. Although the entire Yellow Turban scout team had been annihilated, everyone was left gasping in shock!

  At this time, the crowd did not dare to stay for a long time, took away the bodies of the ten soldiers, and hastily returned on their way. After more than half an hour of bumpy ride, the convoy returned from the north of Ning County. But for some reason, at this time, Ning County was like being swept by a storm, chaotic and disordered. Even several fires were burning in the county town, with terrified crowds, screams, and even chaotic gunfire. All of this was completely opposite to the situation a few hours ago, as if it were really doomsday!

  "Could it be that the Yellow Turbans from Bridgehead Town have launched an attack?"

  Everyone including Zhou Yue had this idea in their mind, and the convoy stopped on the side of the road immediately. Everyone was on high alert because at that time many people in Ning County were rioting, smashing, looting, burning, raping and killing!

  However, Tang Kun soon figured out what had happened.

  "It wasn't the Yellow Turbans who started attacking, but at dusk, ten strange birds suddenly flew over Ningcheng County. They were called Desert Wolf Eagles, with bodies and heads like wolves, but with a pair of wings that spread at least 50 meters wide. No levels or attributes could be seen, only countless question marks. When these Desert Wolf Eagles flew by, it was as if a level-9 gale had blown through, instantly leaving the entire Ning County in disarray. Although they only stayed for tens of seconds and took away dozens of people, the panic they caused triggered massive chaos. Now, everyone is mobilizing to stop the rioting citizens on the streets! If there are any serious lawbreakers, you can deal with them yourself!"

  Tang Kun's words were icy cold and carried a murderous aura, instantly causing the crowd to stop watching the commotion. Since it wasn't the Yellow Turbans who had come to kill them, they still wanted to sleep comfortably for the night. The sooner this disturbance was stopped, the better. Moreover, everyone present had obtained benefits through leveling up, so naturally, no one would or could take advantage of this opportunity to escape!
